Inside Zuckerberg’s Mind — Unpacking the Move to Community Notes
During a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, Mark Zuckerberg described a pivotal change he’s implementing for Meta: moving away from third-party fact-checkers and embracing a Community Notes system that echoes what X (formerly Twitter) has tried. Throughout the podcast, he stressed that traditional fact-checking—although well-intentioned—can inadvertently create distrust among users who feel their voices are overshadowed by “official” gatekeepers. In his view, collective user input might be the next logical step for more organic and transparent moderation on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

A Case Study: TSA’s Social Media Strategy is a Masterclass in Branding
When you think of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), “hilarious social media presence” probably isn’t the first description that comes to mind. After all, this is the agency responsible for pat-downs, strict rules about liquids, and making sure we all follow the regulations so we can travel safely. Yet, over the past few years, the TSA’s digital team has pulled off something remarkable: they’ve transformed a potentially dry, bureaucratic image into a surprisingly entertaining, trustworthy, and even endearing brand on social media. You’re not a believer? Check out their @tsa IG Page where they bill themselves as, “Princess of Puns, King of K9s, Tell of Travel Tips, Passion for Prohibited Items”, and “Admirer of Alliteration”
Brand Awareness: The Overlooked Powerhouse Driving Long-Term Business Success
When businesses think about marketing, the first things that come to mind are often engagement metrics, click-through rates, and conversion funnels.
